Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 20 years old. I have been suffering from constant headaches for about two years. I tried a lot of medication but have not succeeded, from taking hospital medicines to cultural medicines. I take Flutex currently. Now I started to think maybe I have scalp pain because I have dandruff. Please help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

Sorry to hear about your suffering. Headache has many causes, some of which are serious and require prompt attention and management. A history of two years could indicate chronic headaches like migraine, cluster headaches, or chronic sinusitis. In order to identify the cause, please describe the headache and give me more details about the site, frequency, what makes it better, what makes it worse, and if there are any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or photophobia. Please share with me if any investigations are done.

I wish you all well being.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
